# Alessandro Costacurta labels Liverpool as ‘unplayable’

Legendary AC Milan figure Alessandro Costacurta has labelled [Liverpool](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/09/29/virals-liverpool-have-serious-interest-in-arnaut-danjuma/) as ‘unplayable’ after the early stages of the UEFA Champions League.

The Reds sit top of Group B after two matchdays having beaten both Milan and FC Porto, scoring [eight times](https://www.liverpoolfc.com/match/2021-22/men/fixtures-and-results) in the process.

By contrast, the Serie A giants were on the losing end of another tight contest as ex-Liverpool ace Luis Suarez netted a late penalty to earn a [2-1](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/58705891) for Atletico Madrid.

Speaking on [Sky Sports](https://www.sky.it/), via [Tuttomercatoweb](https://www.tuttomercatoweb.com/serie-a/costacurta-liverpool-ingiocabile-adesso-il-milan-nel-girone-se-la-gioca-con-le-altre-1590045), Costacurta was full of praise for Jurgen Klopp’s side.

> Right now, in the Milan group, there is Liverpool who are unplayable. Of course, for Milan the draw (against Atletico) would have been really important. Compared with the Liverpool knockout, this defeat provides a bit of morale, but it’s a shame about that last twist.

The 55-year-old Italian has previous with the Anfield club having been an [unused substitute](https://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/match/80813--milan-vs-liverpool/) in Istanbul as Rafa Benitez’ men pulled off that remarkable final comeback.

### READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT

Liverpool certainly were at their [unplayable best](https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/first-team/445001-watch-highlights-porto-liverpool-champions-league) in Portugal and for large parts of their opening night triumph at Anfield.

Somewhat [in control](https://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/standings/) of the group, Klopp will be hopeful the Reds’ can wrap things up swiftly and rotate as soon as possible.

Still unbeaten both [domestically](https://www.premierleague.com/tables) and in Europe, Kopites can share the Italian legend’s confidence that this season will hold success in the end.
